"Saturday, July 7, 2012 is a day that we will never forget!  We must admit that we were against having our special day at DiNolfo's Because everyone we know has had their wedding and/or reception there.  After our first meeting with Bart & Meghan, we quickly realized that DiNolfo's was the place for us and the reason why everyone books your venue for their special day.  Based on our experience, below are a few reasons why DiNolfo's was an excellent choice for us:

- Customer Service: The wedding planning process is a very stressful & exciting time in a bride and groom's life & no matter how many days per week that we called or stopped by, we were always greeted with the same happy faces & pleasant demeanor.
- Facilities: The facilities are second to none! Clean & appealing to the eyes! The pictures tell the true story about the beauty of this facility.  Its beauty provided the elegant atmosphere we were looking for.
- Food: We thought the food was excellent and presented in a palatable manner with a smile.
- Extras: The extra's we purchased made our event the most talked about wedding of the year! From the photo booth (a huge hit), the sweet table, pillars, custom monogram, chair covers, just to name a few were all worth the money we paid.
- Delivery of Contract Services: All of the months we spent planning our wedding/reception and the many changes we made, one would expect there to be some mishaps, but there were none! Everything we asked and paid for was executed and many surprised that we didn't ask for!

Thank you so much for making our special day second to none!!!!!
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Paul A. Haritos, Sr."

"Thank you so much for making Alyssa & Kevin's wedding on 9-26-09 outstanding.  All elements from food to drinks & presentation were exceptional.  We appreciate all you and your staff did to make my daughters wedding a day to remember.  We will be recommending DiNolfo's Banquets to all our family and friends.  We also will be using DiNolfo's for our continued party needs.  Thank you.

Meghan, This is a personal "thank you" for all the extra steps you took to make Ryan & Angela's wedding exceptionally special.  Your special attention to all the little details put a smile on Angela's face & spills over to putting a smile on Ryan's face.  It's a mothers dream to know her children are happy.  You helped to make my dream come true!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"Chris, I can't believe its been 2 moths since Jim and I were celebrating our marriage at DiNolfo's BEAUTIFUL reception hall.  We wanted to drop you a card to let you know how much we appreciate all that you did to make our day perfect.  The plated chicken breast dinner with the family style ravioli was fabulous!  Everyone raved about the food and there was plenty of it!!  Thank you so much for allowing my sister-in-law to decorate the cake we ordered through your services, it was exactly what we wanted and really beautiful (and tasty too!  We can't wait to finish it for our anniversary!). But mostly I would like to thank you - Chris, you are a wonderful host and we felt so comfortable with you and trusted completely that you would handle every detail and you did and then some.  I hope DiNolfo's knows what a wonderful asset you are for their business, and all your employees that evening did a wonderful job.
Thank you so very much for helping us to have the wedding of our dreams!

"Chris,
Thank you & your amazing team for doing an outstanding job! From the food (which everyone is still talking about - especially the stuffing), to the exceptional service - Ally did such a great job.  She represents you well, & the kitchen staff who cleaned and packed our chargers, helping with the parking, and the LIST GOES ON!
Your place is one to be commended for one who goes above and beyond.  Never before have we received so many compliments on your place! Thank you for your kindness and overwhelming generosity!

" We would like to sincerely thank you for all you did to ensure that our wedding reception turned out amazing for both of us, our families and our friends! Every detail was expertly orchestrated and the meal was exquisite.  We heard many favorable compliments regarding the food, especially the hors d'oeuvres and main dishes.  We were truly impressed by the great service exemplified by your bartenders, servers, and managers.  From the time we signed the contract to our last dance of the night in the beautiful East/North Room, we were more than pleased with the entire experience!  Thank you for making our wedding day everything we ever wanted and more!

" Dear Mr. DiNolfo:
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to you and your entire staff for your kindness and consideration while we were at your establishment on Sunday, March 18, 2012.  Everyone was thoughtful, patient, and cooperative when dealing with the Mannequins and our guests.

The ambiance was inviting and welcoming.  The facility was clean, attractive, and tastefully decorated as was shown on Channels 2, 5, 7, and 12 Sunday and Monday.

The food was scrumptious.  Everyone that I've spoken with since the affair has mentioned to me how much they enjoyed the food.

Please know that I will wholeheartedly recommend your Banquet Facility whenever possible.

Again, thank you for your kindness and consideration.
Sincerely, Lee L. Brown, President"

"Chris & Staff,

Everyone was talking about how beautiful the room was, service was great, and the food was awesome.  I would recommend DiNolfo's to anyone.
Thanks again,
Mike & Jennifer Kubicki"

From the minute we first met with you to discuss our plans, to even after our event, you and your staff went out of your way to make sure every single needed was covered and were very mindful of our budget.  The venue, food, servers, bartenders, photo booth, EVERYTHING was out of this world.  We appreciate you accommodating our special food requests, and your chefs came up with such a delicious dinner that our chamber members are still boasting about it! Numerous members have informed us that this was our best Inaugural Celebration Yet!

" This email is long overdue, but I still wanted to send you it regarding the absolutely terrific job you guys did to help us celebrate our parents 50th Anniversary.  The staff was tremendous in helping us plan this occasion, from referring us to a wonderful DJ, Randy from Awesome DJs, delicious cake from Naples Bakery, down to every last detail in the room.  The waitresses and bartender were exceptional.  We have received calls from our guests on how much they enjoyed the food and your place.  I could have not been more pleased.  I looked forward to having many more events with you and referring you to our friends.

Sincerely,
Janet Condon"

"Since the very beginning of the wedding planning almost one year ago, I've been nothing short of impressed by the continual outstanding service provided by everyone throughout the process.  There is so much stress that goes along with planning a wedding, but I felt as ease that everything at DiNolfo's would work out as planned - and it did.  We had a wonderful night and couldn't have asked for anything more.  Thank you again for everything.  We will be sure to recommend DiNolfo's to our unmarried/ engaged friends!
Love,
Kelly & Chris Wilson

"DiNolfo's, I apologize for how long it has taken to write this note.  My son and his wife (Shawn Kammer & Samantha Zeman) had their reception at DiNolfo's on October 24, 2003.  We wanted to thank you for doing such a beautiful job and being so easy to work with.  There were no "extra" charges for anything, just as you promised.  Any time we called to make a change, add something, or make a special request you were always happy to help.  You took care of every last detail perfectly.  The reception turned out beautiful and the food was delicious.  Your personal attention at the reception to make sure everything was going well was unbelievable.  There was no stress involved in the planning of the reception.  It was a pleasure working with Chris.l  Thanks again for making the day perfect!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Becky Kammer"
